Abstract:
Starting next week, two University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point students will conduct research in a setting few undergrads have a chance to access.

Jessica Nordstrom, of Hibbing, Minn., and Julia Weber, of Eagle River, will accompany UWSP chemistry professor Michael Zach to Argonne National Laboratory. Located just outside Chicago, Argonne is one of the world's top research labs for nanotechnology, Zach's specialty. Nanotechnology is working with matter at microscopic sizes.

There, the trio will spend two weeks researching ultrananocrystalline diamond for uses as electrodes and insulators.
